LABOR ORGANIZATIONS.

The New York SUI summarizes its re-
ports from twenty-one leading cities OF
the country concerning the labor move
ment during the past year. In few places
has the labor movement really sue
ceeded in few has it really failed. In
most it has met with varying success,
winning many small strikes, but losing
the great strikes on which so much de-
pended. The labor unions seem to have
emerged from the years work more
triumphantly than the Knights of
Labor. The latter organization is
everywhere admitted to have in
creased in numbers but almost
everywhere comes the suggestion that the
influence OF the order has not increased
proportionately. Ruskin speaking of the
prospects OF labor organizations in Eng
land says: "If we once can get a suffi-
cient quantity of honesty in our captains,
the organization OF labor is easy and will
develope itself without quarrel or diff
Guilty. but if we cannot get honesty in
in our captains, the organization OF labor
is forevermore impossible" This is true
OF labor organizations in this country and
all other organizations for that matter

REACTIONARY LEGISLATION.

1T is remarkable that Arizona should
take the back track on the test oath
question, just as the Nation and National
Administration have stepped to the front
and inaugurated an opposite and neces-
sary policy. Does Arizona wish to be-
come city of refuge lor polygamous
lawbreakers? Will she close her
eyes to the teachings of the
last forty years OF disloyal actions
on the part OF the priestly hierarchy &?
The sentimental cry about interfering
with religious liberty is the veriest bosh
in connection with the Mormon ulcer.
The reactionary policy OF the Territory
on our Southern border is hailed with
delight by the despairiDg chiefs of dis
loyal sect in Utah, and Arzonia will yet
reap the bitter fruits OF her retrograde
course. She will hereafter become the
Mecca OF polygamous pilgrims who have
left the test oath country for the country's
good.

The assertion that the Loyal League
pays the expenses of Governor Vests
trip to Washington is a bare-faced lie
On the contrary, the Governor positively
refused to go there as representative OF
that or any other organization. He went
simply as Governor OF this Territory,
and has taken no part whatever in lobby
ing for the Tucker or any other bill, al
though when asked for his opinion he
has given it with the irankness which is
characteristic OF the man.

THE Mormon morning circular takes
up the abuse of Tucker where its Repub-
lcan contemporary left it few months
ago, except that it has reversed the
source of his corruption. At the last ses-
sion he was under the influence OF the
Mormon lobby-now he is in the pay OF
the Loyal League. Keep the ball rolling,
brethren-when one gets tired let the
other stand by to give him spell. 1t is
doubtless agreeable occupation for you
both. while it's all the same to Tucker.

When Bobier was first arrested, the

As "no sincere and honest Democrat
could vote for so Infamous and undemo-

Bennett, of North Carolina, offers to
monopolize about all OF the honesty and

But he will probably chop, leaving a

THE SUPREME COURT.
Validity of the Green Driven-vyeN Patent
Affirmed in Two Gases.

Validity of the Green Driven-vyen Patent
Affirmed in Two Gases.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-The United States
Supreme Court briefly announced decisions to-
day in about twenty cases, and then adjourned
until Friday. Leading counsel in the telephone
cases were present, but decision in those cases
was not rendered. Among the cases of general
interest were the following:
No. 120. Harris E. Ames against W. D. An
drews and others; appeal from the United States
Circuit Court for the district of Connecticut
The controversy in this case relates to the valid
ity of what Is known as "the driven well patent"
The importance of this litigation, and the extent
to which the people of the country interested
in 1t, are shown by the fact that the number of
driven wells in the United States is somewhere
between five hundred thousand and one million.
The court holds, first. that the grounds upon
which it is sought to ipvadate the re-issued
patent for the driven wells as being for differ
emit invention from that described in the original
patent, cannot be sustained; second, that the in
ventiun had not been anticipated by others; and,
third. that there is a clear case of infringement
The validity of reissued patent No 1872 issued to
Nelson w. Green, is Therefore sustained and the
decree of the Circuit Court affirmed. Opinion by
Justice Matthews.
No. 1920. A. T. Beedle against Frank o. Ben
net and Others appeal from the United States
Circuit Court for the Northern district of Ohio.
This is also a driven well patent case. Upon
the grounds set forth in the opinion in the pro-
cedng case, the validity of the patent is sus-
tanned and the appellant held liable for infringe
ment. Ths effect of the decision in these two
cases is to render ali users of driven wells not
authorized under the Green patent liable to
damages for infringement.
No. 136. The Sun Mutual Insurance Com
pany, of New York. and others against the
Kountz line, Yeager Trans portation Com
pany, the Kountz Transportation Company
and the Moor Transportation Company: appeal

The Wolf in Sleeps Clothing.

A wolf, tired of waiting for an invitation
from the sheep to visit their fold, obtained
suit of the most fashionable Sleeps clothing
and rang for admission one evening when a
dance was going on He pulled the wool over
the servants eyes so completely that he was
admitted without question, although he was
without escort He went to the cloak room
and checked his all-wool female ulster, and
with comb and brush banged the wool on
his forehead in the most approved style known
to sheep. On entering the ballroom he at
tracted great attention. 'Who is sheP'
what charming young sheep" etc, were
the remarks heard ON every side. All the
young bucks well as many of the old ones
We'd with each other in their attention TO this
fascinating stranger. They all agreed that
she was just ''killing;" and she was. for when
a tender young lamb asked the disguised wolf
to waltz, he just waltzed in and devoured her
in two shakes of lambs tail, and without
any mint sauce either, while the paraiyzed
sheep stood helplessly by waiting their turn
for refreshment.

"'Dear Sir-The murderers of the negro

indicted and prosecuted to the full extent of the
law. There can be justification, excuse or
mitigation of the act. and for it to pass without

A PARTIAL BACK-DOWN.
Chicago Employers Make Radical Modifca-

CHICAGO, May 23.-The four members Of the
National Association of Builders, who are in this
pity for the purpose of inquirng into the present
labor troubles, and, if possible. end the matter

their labors this afternoon. The demand that

done at a meeting of the Building Interests
Council. Among those present at the meeting
were the members of the executive board OF the
National Association of Builders.
After the troubles leading up to the present
crisis had been related for information of the
board, the regular business of the council was
taken up. The committee of five appointed to
prepare an address to the public was called upon
10 report. The members asked for further time.
They stated that the trouble here would affect
other cities, so the greatest care must be taken.
Accordingly report from the committee was
postponed. Some minor amendments to the code
of principles were proposed. Mr.. Mayer objected
to any change, as the master carpenters had
passed upon and adopted the code.
Mr. Dempsey said that the master masons had

they did not think the clause requiring the sig
nature OF each workman could be carried into
effect especially in those trades where dis
turbance now existed. The chairman called the

Jog the signature idea. A majority of the
plies were either evasive were distinctly
opposed to attempt at forcing the employees
TO sign. Several suggested that the word sig
nature be stricken out and the word assent
substituted.
Mr. Sayward of the national board, made an
address TO the meeting. He said it not
worth while to waste time over the words 'as-
sent" and signature" The assent, however,

siples they had adopted, for these principles
were the sm bodiment of the individual liberty
that makes life dear.
After Mr.. Saywards address, some verbal
sbanges were made in the code, but the sense
mained unchanged. except that the word

place OF the word ''pledge" the words "by
accepting employment agree" The result is
that instead OF requiring written pledge from
each workman. the employers content them
selves with tacit understanding
